Inspired by real events, The Lady of Lake Como follows the story of a lieutenant with the Italian police who, during the height of World War II, is tasked with investigating the unsettling disappearance of two women from his small town. Complicating matters, Ezio receives a detestable order from his superiors to arrest a Jewish man simply for the accident of his birth. While enroute to carry out his unbearable duty, Ezio has a crisis of conscience when he encounters a nun whose secret forever changes his heart.

      Paul Bellantoni impeccably presents a small village and its superstitious inhabitants in this look at WWII from an Italian perspective. Listeners join Ezio, who's dedicated to his job as a policeman despite needing a cane. Bellantoni conveys life as Mussolini's Fascists and the Nazis terrify everyone. When Ezio arrests a longtime Jewish resident, his conscience requires him to help the man and his daughter, Nora, who is disguised as a nun. When the Resistance commences, Ezio overcomes his inner demons and also falls in love with Nora. Delightful snippets of Ezio's father's aria performances while cooking and much needed humor showcase Bellantoni at his finest. Audio lets listeners savor rich Italian and guttural German accents in this humane story, based on true events. S.G.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
